SHORT TUNIC
RECONSTRUCTION
Typically worn in the Saxon era, this short ungored (without panel inserts) tunic has been re-created in gray lozenge-twill wool by reconstruction dressmaker Sarah Thursfield.
Short tunics were worn by young men and workers from the 3rd or 4th century CE in northern Germany right through to late Saxon times.
Tunics based on rectangles and triangles were the basic unit of clothing across Europe.
They were usually worn with braccas (wool pants), often with leg windings, and leather shoes.
The final appearance of a tunic was a matter of personal preference and style: The wearer arranged the spare width of the fabric over the tied fabric belt, gently pouched or sometimes in the stylish pleats seen in late Saxon illustrations.
Later tunics often had fuller gored skirts.
SIMPLE CONSTRUCTION
The tunic back and front are made from two unshaped rectangles of cloth with added sleeves that taper at wrist.
A fabric belt defines the waist and gathers in the width.
RURAL WEAR
A peasant tends his sheep in a rural idyll on a late Anglo-Saxon vellum.
He wears a simple tunic draped over a fabric belt -- a style and shape that endured for centuries.
PEPLOS STYLE
Combinations of wrapped dresses and sleeved linen shifts were worn from the Bronze Age (more than 4,000 years ago) and formed the basis of Ancient Greek and Roman women's wardrobes.
An example of this dress style survives from a Danish "bog body" of around 500BCE, and the garments only appear to have gone out of fashion with the Northern European move to Christianity.
The peplos-style dress is simply a large tube of cloth.
The fold at the top controls the length in wear, and two brooches hold it in place at the shoulders.
WARMTH AND PROTECTION
As with the tunic, this garment is managed by the wearer and may be worn with a belt and shortened for practical work.
The dense wool provides good protection and an extra peplos-style outer garment could be added in cold weather.
DRESSING VENUS

短袍
重现
传统的撒克逊时代短款tunic袍子（没有镶嵌条），经由裁缝师Sarah Thursfield以灰色菱形格斜纹羊毛面料重新制作而复兴了。
自德国北部公元3，4世纪到撒克逊晚期，短tunic袍是供年轻男子和工人穿着的服装。
Tunic是基于长方形和三角形之上，横跨欧洲的基本款式。
人们通常穿着它搭配braccas（羊毛裤），绑腿和皮鞋。
最终tunic的整体搭配取决个人的喜好与风格，穿着者会在面料宽度上留有余量，以织物带将服装束好。这样轻柔的收褶你能看到在撒克逊晚期它成为时髦。
后期的tunic袍子经常连着三角斜裁的裙子。
简单构建
Tunic袍子的后片和前片是由两块未加整形的矩形织物组成，加有在手腕处收细的袖子。
一条织物带能控制腰部皱褶的程度。
乡村着装
一位农民在安格鲁-撒克逊晚期的乡村田园中，照顾着他的羊。
他穿着一件以织物带收褶的简单袍子 -- 这是一种持续了几个世纪的着装风格和造型。
PEPLOS风格
混合了包裹连身衣与亚麻袖的直筒袍，在4000多年以前的青铜器时代就开始穿着了。它成为古埃及和罗马妇女衣橱中的基本款。
有一件大约公元前500年在丹麦“木乃伊”身上幸存下来的直筒袍，而服装似乎已经脱离了北欧的风格而转向基督教风格。（当时传教士们正式将基督教义传到中欧与北欧的时候）。
Peplos风格只是一块极大的布料。
顶部的皱褶控制着服装的长度，两枚胸针将其固定在肩膀上。
温暖与保护
与tunic袍子一样，这款服装由穿着者自己管理造型，可以搭配腰带，也可以缩短长度以便日常工作。
紧密的羊毛提供良好的温暖与保护，在寒冷的天气可以额外增加一件peplos款式的外衣。
维纳斯更衣
公元前60年，路德维希大理石浮雕显示（Ludovisi Throne），两位侍女正在服侍维纳斯更衣，而peplos在他们手中被提起，这是维纳斯诞生的一个细节。
